3.1 Blog
While I am reading the blogs in reverse I am first starting with Stephen R Covey, while the post is dated and I may have to switch to something a little more current as the latest entry seems to be 2010, while I probably read his books around that time I perfer the lastest on anytopic and am sure a million authors have taken his ideas and distilled them into a more concise and easy to follow book since three years agao. Nonetheless the most recent blog post as I posted I would review it is on Choosing not to be angry. I like the article (if you can call a blog post a article) as it is about man who is at one of Stephen's talks and is going to stop being mad about his wife leaving him, while I have not ever had a wife it iseems like it might be tramatic for someone and simply making a decision to move on seems like a great way to live, I think choosing to be happy is important and not holding on to anger and resentment is a perfectly logical solution, I personally have a poor memory so I don't really hold onto stuff but this is probably great advice for people. www.stephencovey.com/blog I may drop this one and try to find something I little more current.
Doors of Perception -The most recent posting is on Speed? What Speed? The Falcon by Sebastian Trapp- It is a very interesting story about Frederic II and the sacking of Victoria then going on to explain the greatest loss was a transcript written on the falconing, while the topic has always made me chuckle. It is a interesting view on speed, as when the transcipt was written the concept was not invented yet as it seemed to be a post train/locomotion invention. Priort transportation was unpredictatble and it was not untill the rise of machanical speed was normalize and measured the concept was created. This writting style and period was interesting descriptions reminded me of reading of another important leader Machivelli and his writting of "The Prince". Which while self serving and calculating before his time, it seems our Falconer could have used a little more of that and a little less bird hunting.
While I saved what interests me the most and hence saved the best of last Innovation Excellence, while this sort of sings to me in title and concept. I find that it gets me excited and ready to quickly pull out my credit card and buy whatever they are selling. The most recent posting is sort of a looking at the executives as the current less sci fi Jedi, who direct our attention away from the truth and or driods to what they what us to focus on. While there are is a interesting parallel drawn it boils down to using "Clarity, Consistency, Continuity" being the moral of the story, sorry no real mind trick here. But like everyone one know if you repeat a lie long enough it becomes true or preceived to be true (or people that remember the true die off). The article brings up good points in the need for clarity and focus. While the blog is engaging it was brief and while concise and to the point no real world applications were presented other than in name rather then how to impliment these stratigies. Anyway good fun.

I would say the gentleman in the Mandela to Obama, in the Harvard business review is a sad waste of band width.
Judging great leaders on appearances and height like a cromagnam man might.
The only thing he said that was less annoying then my friends that went to Harvard, is he did pass the mike off eventually.
While this whole mentality associated of the educated elite and their inclusive education systems seem like dinosaurs, Harvard Business Review and Publishing. I guess I more for the Khan University, and free MIT courses and the internet basically equate to free higher and all levels of information being free to everyone and the social constructs of paid and hoop jumping education are a thing of the past. Interviewing these people with their views of the world are not worthy of publication or discussion. But the Mandela's way writer or white guy number two, really starts and focuses on appearances which in my mind pushes his intelligence, charisma, and many skills are less important then his appearances.
While I believe we as a culture will move away from everything involved in the social construct, the next learning will be higher brain learning, as well as eliminating the stupidity of stress, deadlines, and rules, and dumb fake interviews.
2. Reflect on the how these leaders compare to classic leadership models. Seriously, this is insulting. The style of Henry was brash and trying to get the stupidity of testosterone behind his attack, while Mandela was perhaps the first great leader the world has seen in the non-violence push, besides all religious leaders and most historical Buddas, Jesus, and so forth. Their approach, and philosophy of each leader is insultingly shallow and annoying.
Well I do not see Henry the 5th as a leader as much as a inciter of a mob or a charismatic using his gifts of speech to kill and attack, and rather imposing his stupidity on his followers to attack the french, and why when they clearly at this period are superior in food, wine and language, and culture.
ii. compares the characteristics of the leaders to one another. They are totally different and their comparison is beyond apples and oranges. Really nothing to compare, rather Mandela was as a amazing leader of the people. Desmond Tutu while I did met him years ago is a very nice and thoughtful leader is not is basically taking the higher ground, and a moral compass the world could follow. Then Richard Branson is a master of delegation, and coming up with invention totally different then then the others bringing up business and competition as a norm rather then morals.
iii. describes how leadership models are changing b. Assume the reader of your blog has not watched the videos and is not taking (or teaching) this course
Leaders are moving for a self serving individual glory to that of a shared goals and achievements.
